Global Force Information Management
Abstract
Global Force Information Management (GFIM): GFIM is a Global Force Management Data Initiative (GFM DI) compliant, integrated, and interoperable digital environment that enables, thru automation, the Deploy to Redeploy/Retrograde (D2RR) end-to-end business processes in support of Dynamic Force Employment (DFE). Today, over 85% of this core Army Business Process is done manually with tools that are available on antiquated, disparate technology platforms. GFIM will provide an integrated planning, programming, and production capability to dynamically develop, design, and document an Army at rest and in motion. GFIM will evolve both long-term and immediate bridging solutions that integrate and automate Army operational business processes, using an interoperable, collaborative environment, to enable the seamless creation and exchange of authoritative data across the operational community of practice to provide rapid, accurate, and auditable outcomes to support risk informed senior leader decisions. GFIM will provide the core data necessary for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, other Business Mission Area (BMA) systems and Warfighting Mission Area (WMA) systems to efficiently and effectively execute business processes in support of Army Title 10 responsibilities and war fighting operations. Using Other Transactional Authority (OTA), funding will be used to deliver a rapid prototype for Phase II of GFIM (DFE). Phase I focuses on developing capabilities for strategic planning, determining force requirements, and designing the force, while Phase II focuses on capabilities for preparing forces to deploy, mobilize, deploy forces, and retrograde forces and equipment in support of Multi-Domain Operations. FY22 funding provides for prototyping efforts including software licenses, labor, hosting, and managed services. This capability will be the authoritative transactional capability that creates and develops the requisite force structure, deployment, and readiness data needed to man, equip, train, ready, and resource an Army in Motion.
